The Teewing Turbo Force XT shouldn't exist at this price. Carbon frame, DJI Avinox M2S motor, FOX 36 Float Rhythm suspension front and rear, Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain, Maxxis rubber on tubeless-ready 29-inch wheels, 800Wh battery. It sounds like a $15,000 eMTB spec sheet. Pushys is selling it for $7,999 AUD.

What Makes This Bike Worth Talking About

The DJI Avinox M2S is the story. Avinox launched its first eMTB motor system in 2024, and the M2S is its second-generation follow-on: 130Nm of torque (bumping to 150Nm in Boost mode), up to 1,300W of peak power, noise under 45 dBA, and a 2-inch OLED display with app connectivity. In a market dominated by Bosch Performance CX and Shimano EP8, DJI came in fast with more torque, better integration, and aggressive pricing on the motor side. The Turbo Force XT is one of the clearest expressions of what that looks like on a trail bike.

The Spec Sheet

The frame is T800 reinforced carbon, running a refined four-bar linkage with 150mm of rear travel. Suspension is FOX 36 Float Rhythm front (160mm travel, GRIP damper) and FOX rear shock. Drivetrain is Shimano XT M8100 12-speed with a 36T chainring and Shimano SLX cassette (10-51t). Brakes are Shimano 4-piston hydraulics with 203mm rotors. Tires are Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5" front and Dissector 29x2.4" rear, both MaxxTerra compound, tubeless ready.

Weight comes in at 21.8kg for M, L, and XL frames, 20.8kg for the small. The battery is 800Wh on M through XL (600Wh on the small). A 4A/168W compact charger is included. Wireless Avinox controllers mount on both sides of the bar.

Available in Cosmic Blue and Cosmic Black. Sizes S through XL fit riders from roughly 155cm to 200cm.

What Teewing Is and Why It Matters

Teewing isn't a name most Australian riders know yet. They're a Chinese manufacturer that built a European race team before selling a single bike commercially, and the Turbo Force line has been reviewed positively by Flow Mountain Bike, which put early kilometres on the predecessor model. Distribution in Australia is live now: Pushys carries the Cosmic Black Launch Edition with national shipping (East Coast $35 to $100, WA around $250). Camden Cycles in NSW stocks the higher-spec Turbo Force Pro. Next stock intake is flagged for July 2026 for some distributors, so current stock is the move if you're interested.

The Compliance Question

Here's what you need to know before ordering. The Turbo Force XT is NOT a road-legal e-bike in Australia. The Avinox M2S motor peaks at 1,300W and far exceeds the EN 15194 standard required for riding on public roads, shared paths, and bike lanes across NSW and most other states. The 250W nominal and 25km/h pedal-assist cut-off this bike cannot meet.

In practice, the Turbo Force XT is a trail and off-road machine. Mountain bike parks, private land, State Forest trails where motorised bikes are permitted under trail access rules. If you want a mixed-use commuter, look elsewhere (see our Lekker Jordaan Urban review from this week). If you want a purpose-built trail eMTB that outclimbs any compliant bike by a wide margin, the compliance question probably doesn't change your thinking at all.

This is also the spec that makes the Turbo Force XT genuinely unsuitable for a sneaky road commute. High-power eMTBs are increasingly being flagged in the context of the NSW Road Transport Amendment Bill 2026, which introduced $5,500 fines and crushing powers for non-compliant bikes used on public roads. Eyes open.

Cartell Assessment

At $7,999 AUD, the Turbo Force XT is doing something that didn't exist twelve months ago: putting a genuinely top-shelf eMTB motor (Avinox M2S) into a carbon frame with FOX suspension and XT drivetrain at a price that undercuts most comparable builds by $3,000 to $5,000. The value-to-component ratio, based on published specs, is exceptional. The real unknowns are the ones any newer brand carries into Australia: long-term service availability, crash replacement pricing on the carbon frame, and how the Avinox app ecosystem develops. Those are legitimate questions, not deal-breakers. This is a spec review, not a trail test, but the paper case for the Turbo Force XT is hard to dismiss.

AU Outlook

The Avinox-versus-Bosch conversation is coming to Australian trail centres faster than most riders expect. With Pushys stocking the XT and Camden Cycles carrying the Pro, Teewing now has a genuine national retail footprint. If the July stock intake lands cleanly and early-adopter feedback is positive, this will be a regular sight at trail heads from Stromlo to Derby by spring.
